and the Sooners rubbed it in with a shocking 35-10 victory over second- ranked Nebraska Saturday Oklahoma ranked No 7 lost three fumbles but Nebraska wound up with a terminal case of turnovers The previously-unbeaten Cornhuskers lost four of five fumbles and had two passes intercepted Jubilant Oklahoma OB -Bound E3 FROM PAGE 1C like a dream I believe said a shower-drenched Oklahoma Coach Barry Switzer who already was wearing an Orange Bowl sticker year long we looked a lot like Nebraska did the second half out there We were awful lucky a great team and without their turnovers it could have been very very THE SOONERS ranked seventh needed another missed conversion by Colorado to give them the opportunities to cleanse themselves of a 23-3 loss to Kansas humiliate their respected rivals from Nebraska and head for a second round of fun in the Miami sun (they escaped with their lives 20-17 when they played the University of Miami earlier in the season) Their opponent New night will be Big Ten runnerup Michigan a 21-14 loser to Ohio State Saturday is my biggest win said Switzer who laughed that no he covered with orange juice erases a lot of unfortunate things that have happened to us through the season We looked like we were a long way from Miami Florida two weeks ago (after the Kansas BUT TAKE nothing away from a potent bunch of Sooners who may have had ideas earlier in the season their clippings would knock down the opposition and carry them to the national title many expected them to win all so fitting like a storybook said Sooner quarterback Davis a licensed Baptist minister Davis tiptoed through the oranges the sea of red-clad Oklahoma fans kept throwing onto the field and ripped through the previously Wishbone-proof Nebraska defense for 130 yards on 29 trips I tell you I just had that feeling before the said halfback Washington who danced in his silver slippers for 40 more explain it Now if I can just find a pair of shoes I can stand up in on that Orange Bowl turf I hate PERHAPS the most satisfied in the Sooner jubilation was one player who had a special interest in returning to Miami Sophomore halfback Elvis Peacock a Miami Central High product is heading home again sure rather be there during Christmas break playing than said Peacock who scored the 21-10 touchdown on a four-yard run after a well-timed Davis Wishbone pitch rather be playing Ohio State we still have something to prove to the people of Miami especially me got to understand one big mistake we made when we came down to play Miami earlier in the year was that we stayed at the same hotel where all the OU fans were There was a lotta confusion with autographs and everything when we went to the beach This time be more BESIDES the contingent of Nebraska fans two of the more disappointed people present at Owen Field were a couple of Orange Bowl Committeemen Bob Lafferty and Gene Autry They admitted before the game a national championship matchup between an undefeated Nebraska and a once-beaten Ohio State was their dream Oklahoma certainly is a comeback said Autry who was impressed with a gutty Sooner defense which overcame adversity throughout the afternoon remember both conferences (the Big Eight and Big Ten) have a good following and the fans bring regardless of the teams will be a great boost to the Miami Sooner Fan Gels Carried Aivay Jail OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) A lot of Oklahomans take football seriously but one University of Oklahoma fan got carried away Saturday Oklahoma City police booked the Sooner booster after three threatening calls from the same telephone in an Oklahoma City apartment during the Oklahoma-Ncbraska game Each time the caller reportedly threatened the life of Oklahoma Coach Barry Switzer if Oklahoma lost Police Sgt Melton said the unidentified Sooner fan had been it up a and that he had told the stadium operator that was a man in the stadium who was going to kill Switzer if he Li i BBB yrirtfulajiriiiii 3 FROM PAGE 1C RAY performance helped erase some of the sting that Archie felt from the Wolverine defense The 1974 Heisman winner settled for 46 yards ending his national record of 31 regular-season games of more than 100 yards rushing Archie now has 5177 yards rushing at OSU the best defense Arch has seen in his career" said Hayes it worry him that his streak was stopped any more than it does me All interested in is The irascible Hayes who later had another in a long line of skirmishes with newsmen was nearly as startled as his little defensive star thought we could get into field goal range after we tied it up But we figure on Ray intercepting and taking the ball to the said Hayes THE CRUSTY 62-year-old coach kept newsmen waiting nearly 30 minutes and then led them down a small dark corridor for his post-game interview away from where his players were dressing vM'T Press Just after the interview started the one light in the tunnel went out Writers protested the conditions you inquired HaVes eyes will get acclimated to it (the Someone asked why Hayes did not conduct his interview inside the dressing room too crowded in these dressing Hayes replied wait until we get modern ones with nice chairs for you writers" Another newsman wondered why Hayes would not relax his longstanding edict on barring reporters from his players snapped Hayes "you run your newspapers and coach my football TYPICALLY TOO Hayes resist another foray into the world of philosophy Michigan team doubt itself and neither did our team and with that kind of attitude you can turn things was assessment country has been doubting itself since this day 12 years ago (when President John Kennedy was killed) but if you ask me whether things can be turned around tell you they darn well can be just like Nicholas Crane president of the Orange Bowl selection committee displeased with attempt to grab the roses what I saw on television today we are tremendously pleased to have Crane said "They sure put on a good show and I think they are going to be a fine opponent for the Big Eight co-champion in the Orange Asked if he were disappointed that the Buckeyes be playing in Miami Crane replied not I think it is going to be a better ball game with MICHIGAN certainly provided a national television audience with a whale of a game Saturday Even Schembechler though a loser for only the fourth tunc in his last 70 regular-season games had to concede that fact it was a hell of a Schembechler nodded no loss is easy to take for me or my Schemhechler quickly appended after that kind of an BUT the Wolverines still have one more chance to end the season with a victory in the Orange Bowl was just shooting for this one" said Leach were shooting for the Rose Bowl have to regroup" "Yes" added

Buckeyes Resorted to sound tactics to score twice in 59 seconds of the last 318 of the game and rescue victory The drive for the tying touchdown was keyed by the passing of quarterback Cornelius Greene and dove-tailed perfectly with game plan knew we could pass on Hayes said we getting good protection We just had to change some blocking GREENE finished with seven completions in 16 attempts for 84 yards and a touchdown But his finest moments came midway through the fourth quarter after Michigan took a 14-7 lead and had held the potent Buckeyes without a first down in the first 23 minutes of the second half Greene barely escaped an interception on a second down toss from his own 20 and then came back to hit wingback Brian Baschnagcl for 17 yards on third and 10 Greene followed with two straight completions to Len Willis for 32 more yards and the Buckeyes were started on the comeback Hayes denied the aerial attack was a deviation from his conservative image not a deviation we just crossed them he said "They do a good job on the pass They played up front tight as hell but it opened some things to the HAYES a student of military history be faulted on the strategy Not only did the passes work but his kicking game provided a key factor He chose to kick the extra point and tie the game rather than go for two points with 3:18 left thus forcing Michigan to gamble since a tie eliminated the Wolverines from going to the Rose Bowl were hoping to get the ball back and go for a field Hayes said wind was in face so that would be an advantage for The strategy worked when Griffin intercepted pass and set Ohio State up at the Michigan three the point was agreed Coach Bo Schembechler of Michigan knew we had to gamble to win and knew we would be throwing with the wind our gamble backfired but it was only the extension of a team decision made before the game to win or lose but not accept a tie So Michigan was left disconsolate and Hayes could lean back and smile is my greatest

Orange Bowl New night but the Michigan football coach could hardly be faulted for his run for the roses late in the fourth quarter Saturday Had Schembechler played for a tie it would have given Michigan a share of an unprecedented fifth straight Big Ten title the score is 14-14 got two choices to Schembechler explained after his team dropped a 21-14 decision to the top-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes "You cither play it conservatively or you play to win We decided before the game not to play for a tie so we had to gamble late in the game and you all know what happened when we had to go to the WHAT happened of course is that Ohio State safety Ray Griffin stepped in front of a pass by Michigan quarterback Rick Leach and returned the interception 29 yards to the Wolverine three-yard line-Tank-like Pete Johnson bulled over on the next play for his third and Ohio third touchdown of the game More importantly TD gave Ohio Stale the Big Ten title and a Rose Bowl berth for the fourth straight year while Michigan will bring its runnerup Big Ten finish and an 8-1-2 record into the Orange Bowl to face Oklahoma Big Light co-champion WEST MIAMI 7206 NW 56th SI Corner Milam Dairy Rd
